    Mine were leaking because I had to add some barb fittings..i tried pipe sealant n it didn't work. Then I used red loctite, cuz that's what zzp originally used and that worked well. Make sure you let it dry and cure tho. Haven't had a problem since. Was gonna try the tape next if the loctite didn't work.

    So loctite on the fittings? Or on top of them? I'll try teflon tape but i'll start with loctite
